DomAmore, Yankees beat writer

Yankees in 6

The Braves have a marginal edge in starting pitching, but the Yankees have a tad more everywhere else. The Yankees' experience, bullpen and ability to close out a series on the road will make them The Team of the '90s when it's over.

Jack O'Connell, baseball writer

Yankees in 7

The Yankees haven't hit much in the postseason, and the Braves' rotation is superior. But most of the games will be decided in the bullpen, where the Yankees have a slight edge.

Jeff Jacobs, columnist

Yankees in 5

The Braves will be remembered for three letters: LOB. The Yankees' depth is a big factor.
